A Marines Plane was doing touch and goes on the desert just before Anza Borrego. The idea is to have a shutter speed set to 1/125 or less so that the props are a blur..... sorry, I shake too much to do that.

One of the arches in the Alabama Hills. Unfortunatly, the weather was closing in and I selected the wrong lens for the shot. The normal shot is facing the other way so that Mt. Whitney is shown through the arch. Oh well, next time.

Joshua Tree National Park. I love this place and it's not because that I am a senior and we get in for FREE, it's just something about the high desert. Maybe if it was the dead of summer, then I might not like it. Anyway, about six images stitched together.

This is looking east towards the town of Lone Pine, CA. The location is the Alabama Hills, which are the foothills to the High Sierra Mountains.This also the location of where many westerns were shot in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, including Hopalong Cassidy, which was my favorite cowboy when I was kid.
